I'm interested in how they work out a starting pitcher for tonight. The roster move options seem pretty limited: TJ House would be the logical promotion, but he just went down a couple days ago and there's a minimum stay in the minors of 10 or14 days unless he's replacing someone who goes on the DL. Salazar just pitched (extremely ineffectively) on Tuesday. There are no other Columbus starters on the Tribe's 40 man roster.
They could add Travis Banwart who has been OK but to do so would require DFA someone. I suppose Scott Barnes would be the victim.
They could move the Friday starter to Thursday and the Saturday starter to Friday and reinsert Tomlin on Sunday, but they probably wouldn't want to pitch two guys on short rest.
They could ask McAllister to try again tonight since he hasn't faced too many hitters in his last two times out.
